Right into the Sun(burst)
The Vines - Get Free
..sometimes music says it better than i ever could..
to put this into perspective dear reader you must know that just
recently i put a final end to my off again on again relationship
with my high school sweetheart and this is the song that has
steeled my resolve.. so truly.. i will "get free" once and for all

i am of the opinion, that i shouldn't have an opinion
your world is flawed.. or rather.. your world view is flawed.. not to say that mine is correct..
there is a saying.. "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one"
and although i feel that it misses a larger point.. that assholes actually have a use.. it does ring true.. everyone has a notion about the way that things "need" to be done, and this gets us nowhere.. it leads only to bickering, hurt feelings, and someone ending up feel as if they got the short end of the stick.. but that last one can't really be helped, seeing as there are seven and a half Billion people.. that is a lot of motherfuckers to have to worry about when making a decision.. think about it, that is a shit ton of zeros..
what was i talking about?..
right..
the next time you are faced with a decision, and need to form an opinion.. please.. for the love of your god/gods/goddess.. use logic to come to your conclusion.. and i'm not talking logic that you push through your life's story filter.. and if you don't know the difference.. by all means take this opportunity to go study some logic.. don't forget you do have the internet at your disposal.. and it is a tool that should be exploited..
my digressions are killing me here..
anyway..
use logic.. be a pragmatist.. not opinionated and emotional, but logical and pragmatic when faced with, really, any decision.. you might find that you make less mistakes.. and when you do fuck up.. you can look back on it and not feel to bad.. because you will have reacted to the situation at hand, rather than how you felt..
then again.. in the end.. i probably won't have followed my own advice either.. but you know.. we are only human..

don't slip into your coma just yet...
surely here in the cold we might find something that resembles true thought..
are our minds nothing more than a series of electrical impulses? if so, why do we feel such a need to to try and define those jolts of electricity? simple answer, everything must be defined. every one thing must have a place, a purpose. but why stop at the simple answer. there are other paths to take. although to tread these other paths is to reject society.
how so you might ask.
worry not little ones i will suggest a solution to your query.
one, know that society as a whole is only concerned with it's own immediate survival. two, most of us never stop and ask why(even if it is the single most important question one can ask). why, what you say. the answer is incredibly easy. why everything? there is nothing in this world that should not be subject to that question. and back to my larger point: three, if you do ask the great question, eventually you will find that there is no answer. that everything that you have ever known is basically a lie. that all the things we have given labels to in a useless gesture that we hoped would give our little world meaning fell flat. our existence holds no more meaning than an ant's.
(this is the part were i'm suppose to suggest that ants don't have these same existential problems, but who am i to claim such things.)
there is much left unsaid......
